You've been told to "keep a food diary."
That's not enough.
You've tried tracking what you eat. You've Googled your symptoms at 2am. You've tried elimination diets that left you frustrated and hungry - with no clear answers.
A basic food diary puts the burden entirely on you to connect the dots across weeks of entries. Most people give up.
Boson does the pattern recognition for you.
You track your day. Boson finds the connections.
Track
Log what you eat, how your body feels, your mood, and your treatments. It takes minutes, not hours.
Analyze
Boson compares your bad days to your normal days. Instead of comparing you to a population average, it compares you to yourself - you become your own control group.
Discover
Get specific, personal insights with confidence scores. Not vague wellness advice - real signals from your own data.
Everything that affects your health, in one place.
Food & Ingredients
Search grocery items, restaurant meals, supplements, and medications. Not calorie counting - Boson classifies what you consume for pattern analysis.
Body Pain
Tap where it hurts on interactive body maps. Boson learns your baseline and detects flares automatically.
Mood & Emotions
18 distinct emotional states - not a 1-10 scale. "Stressed" and "anxious" are different triggers.
Treatments
Log physical therapy, yoga, acupuncture, and many other modalities to see what helps or hurts.
Period & Cycle
Optional menstrual tracking connected to everything else. Find foods that only trigger symptoms during certain cycle phases.
Goals & Habits
Build daily routines with Life Canvas. Your to-do list with analysis running in the background.
This isn't another symptom logger.
AI Pattern Detection
Statistical methods that reduce false positives. Not just charts - actual signals with confidence scores.
Elimination Protocols
Run structured 14-day experiments on suspected triggers with adherence tracking and statistical evaluation.
DBT Skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. Chronic illness affects your mind too.
Resilience Bank
A gamified stress capacity meter that rewards you for showing up - especially on the hard days.
Built because we needed it and it didn't exist.
Boson was created by a couple managing Crohn's disease, chronic pain, and other conditions.
We talked to others in the chronic illness community and found everyone doing the same thing - running their own root cause analysis with no real tools. We looked for an app that could track what you eat and find patterns. It didn't exist. So we started building.
"The app identified that soy lecithin worsens symptoms - but sunflower lecithin, a nearly identical ingredient, correlates with improved mood and has no effect on pain. That's the kind of insight no doctor would give you."
We're not a wellness startup selling a lifestyle. We're people who know what it's like to leave a 7-minute doctor visit with more questions than answers.
Whatever you're managing, Boson can help you track it.
And 60+ more. Boson doesn't need to know your diagnosis - it finds what's helping or hurting.
Your data is yours. Period.
Your health data is encrypted and never sold. We built Boson as a personal diary - one that no one reads but you.
We're also honest: signals improve with 60+ days of consistent tracking, and we tell you when evidence is early. We'd rather be transparent than overpromise.
